Tar Heel Ties Power Shaun Draughn
Posted Nov 5, 2008
As Shaun Draughn starred as a running back at Tarboro High School, former Tar Heel running back Kelvin Bryant was often there to observe him. The three-time 1,000-yard back and ACC legend paid Draughn the ultimate compliment--he saw himself in him. "Before I went to running back, my pops would see him around Tarboro and he would always say, `Your son needs to be playing running back. That's what he needs to be playing.' To have him in my corner, that's big," Draughn said.
